So my friend's fiance just got told in boot camp that he's going to be an MM Nuke, when will he find out how lovely his life is?
When he gets to his boat. If he's going sub, he should push for welding school. It won't make boat life any better, but it will prolong the inevitable for a few months.

not that i recall

requalifying every 6 months was a pain in the balls but overall i'm really glad i did the school. very helpful on resumes in my field as well

No bonus.

About that requal. We went like two years without proficiency welds, so we had to do a one week refresher course to requalify. It was time spent away from the boat, so it was worth it.

Hahaha, some dude that got out of Field Med in Camp Pendleton sent an email straight to the CO asking her if we can wear the Marine camo pattern instead of NSUs to show "that we are 8404" qualified. He had the decency to notify his chain of command by CCing them in the email.

The answer was No.

I hope that was the entirety of the email.

The old school shirts had blue collars and sleeves. I can't find any pics online and I think I threw mine away years ago, so you'll just have to imagine how gay they looked.

I walked my last PRT, because I was getting out in a month.

"Herding cats" has more to do with the fact that cats don't listen for poo poo and will do whatever they want.

Yeah I tried my damnedest to find out who the chick was and I asked my students and someone claimed to see one of the weird meet ups they had but other than that I couldn't get any info.

I did find a pic of the dude and he was a weird fatty and for some reason he posted a picture of his not girlfriend's hand and it was mad fat so my money is on them both being huge, especially cause she's in the navy.
